Kingston is the capital of Jamaica, the first name of Hull and
somewhere just outside of London it sits Upon Thames but to the
people of Cambridgeshire its none of those things. Its a pretty
little village about 7 miles west of Cambridge, with a population
of just over 200. Its not a village you pass through by accident as
the A603 bypasses it to the south and the B1046 to the north so its
pleasantly peaceful. You therefore dont move to Kingston for its
lively club scene or sushi bars although there is the Cambridge
Club Music Festival at nearby Childerley Hall once a year , you
move there for its quietness, country walks and rides and laid back
loveliness.
Cambridge Country Club with its golf course, gym, spa and pool
is just north of the village towards Bourn and you can get your day
to day shopping at Comberton 2 miles . Theres a primary school in
Bourn, and secondary and sixth forms in Comberton too. If you and
the dog are both feeling fit you can walk along bridleways and
lanes to the National Trusts Wimpole Estate and Eversden woods to
the south of the village. And remember, this idyllic rural
lifestyle doesnt mean moving to the middle of nowhere, youre only 7
miles west of Cambridge, thats about as close as Upon Thames is to
actual London.
